Jan 25, 2009 (Bottle -- shared with three other beer geeks, thank you all -- at Pikkulintu. Helsinki, on 2009-01-23) Dark orange and hazy. Medium sized white head. Alcohol, malts, hops and excessive amounts of glue in aroma. Full bodied and quite alcohol filled palate with little carbonatio. Hops, bitterness, alchohol, malts, berries, sweetness and saltiness in taste. Saltiness, bitterness and hops in aftertaste. Not enjoyable at all.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottle. Pours cloudy amber with small, white-coloured head. Aroma of hops. Heavy pine-like flavour, and almost no alcohol flavour, which is surprising considering the strength of this brew. This is a fantastic beer, and I wish it was a bit cheaper and more available. I would love to make this a regular occurence.

Jan 24, 2009 wow this one packs a punch. Poured out of a bottle into a chimay glass. strong on the nose, but even stronger in the taste. Doesn’t taste hoppy in the standard sense, but very good none the less.

Jan 24, 2009 Bottled. Aroma of hop and alcohol. Lots of pine in the flavor, with a finish that isn’t as aggressive as I thought it might be. Tasty.

Jan 24, 2009 Aroma is hoppy, with a strong sense of pine.
Color is orange-amber and there is almost no head from the snifter.
I’m a little frightened by this one!
Taste is strongly pine and very sweet. Delicious and satisfying. Hops are there if you know how to distinguish them. If it tastes of floral, though, do not worry. There is a delightful hoppiness in the finish.

Jan 23, 2009 Pours an orange color with minimal head. The nose was very floral with a lot of hops. This one came across the palate rather smooth with minor hop characteristics in the taste. This one was a little on the sweet side for being an IPA. I will have to say it was a little disappointing; I was expecting a mouthful of hops & it had very little in the finish. Don’t get me wrong it was still good; it just wasn’t what I was expecting.

Jan 22, 2009 Great beer, wishing i bought 2, 3 or more but at 7.99 a pop - a little steep. thought it was a little sweet in the front a little bitter in the back and a little sour on the sides. a very complex beer that i will treat myself to again.
